Taylor, a native of Richmond, Va., originally committed to the Wolverines in March. He had somewhat opened up his recruitment in the wake of Michigan's struggles this season, taking an official visit to Virginia Tech last week and scheduling official visits to Ohio State and Penn State for weekends in November.

Taylor also has offers from such schools as LSU, Stanford, Oklahoma and Michigan State. He's ranked the No. 6 cornerback and No. 48 player overall in the class of 2015 by Rivals.com.

In addition to Taylor's departure, four-star defensive end Darian Roseboro decommitted from Michigan at the end of September, and several other committed recruits have said they'll now consider other schools due to the possibility that head coach Brady Hoke may get fired.

Hoke's job security is in question due to Michigan's poor play on the field. The Wolverines are just 3-5 this season after losing to Michigan State 35-11 on Saturday.

The coach has also come under fire for the Shane Morris concussion controversy. The sophomore quarterback was stayed in Michigan's Sept. 27 loss against Minnesota after sustaining a concussion. Morris re-entered the game temporarily even after exiting the field.
